Conservation science is interdisciplinary & collaborative. A great part is stepping back & admiring the sheer talent of your coauthors. Fun to watch Drs Nelson, Ward, & Linden turn our chats into Bayesian code. Statistical alchemy! esajournals.onlinelibrary.wi…

Chuffed to have this out. Really hope its taken in the spirit meant: a) to put in black and white some advice we find ourselves giving an awful lot (often in response to reviewers) b) a complement to a paper we regularly recommend folks read -> @Todd_W_Arnold 2010 (1/2)

this would make peer review much more fun
Looking for ways to evaluate model fit when conducting step-selection analyses or when fitting hidden Markov models? Check out our new preprint! With @signer_j and Smith Freeman #rstats

I often get asked about Bayes factors and confidence intervals as alternative to p-values. I don’t think either of these is any solution at all. elevanth.org/blog/2023/07/17…

A bonus @CREEM_cake seminar today by Dan Linden (@dwlinden), research statistician at @NOAA. Discussing discrete vs. continuous models for right whale population dynamics, and enjoying some #cake obviously!

Our session on population dynamics and hierarchical modelling features whales, birds, and fish! Don't miss out on these exciting talks! Remember that #ISEC2022 is a hybrid event so there is still time to register as a virtual attendee! @SEEC_UCT @AlisonKetz @hanna_mccaslin

Only 1 mo. to apply to learn #cameratrapping analysis and study design from the experts [Jim Nichols, Jim Hines, @andyroyle_pwrc, @dwlinden, @chrissuthy]. Time to dig into that unspent travel money and build out your camtrap toolkit. June 6-17. #Rstats smconservation.gmu.edu/progr…

every time I stress out about sharing code/projects publicly this slide from one of @drob’s talks stares me down until I finally tweet

🚨Here's my new piece about our great challenge—control this pandemic while ALSO averting the next. For centuries, the US has been stuck in a Sisyphean cycle of panic & neglect. It can break that loop, but the window of opportunity is already closing. 1/ theatlantic.com/health/archi…

Out today in @CurrentBiology we found that critically endangered North Atlantic right whales are not only declining in abundance, but also in size. A whale born today is expected to reach a maximum size about 1m shorter than a whale born in 1981. authors.elsevier.com/a/1dAw3…

Some grisly images of the severely entangled #rightwhale known as Cottontail, which was found dead last weekend off the coast of South Carolina. In this image, great white sharks circle the carcass.

People who don't know any statistics just look at the data. People who know some statistics run hypothesis tests, compute confidence intervals, etc. People who know lots of statistics just look at the data.
